Unitarian Universalist Society in
Brooklyn

The
Unitarian Universalist Society in Brooklyn, CT is a small, friendly
congregation, supporting each other in a spiritual community. We are the direct
successors of the first Unitarian congregation in Connecticut. We have a
notable history. Our first Unitarian minister, Rev. Samuel May, was a noted
peace activist, education reformer, temperance crusader, supporter of women's
rights, and one of the principal supporters of Prudence Crandall, the
official female hero of the state of Connecticut. In 1871 we ordained the Rev.
Celia Burleigh, the first female Unitarian minister and one of the very first
regularly ordained female ministers in any denomination.

Currently we have services twice each month. Services may be led by lay leaders in the
congregation, or by lay or clergy guests. We also have a book discussion group which meets monthly. The UUSB
is an active participant in activities of the Unitarian
Universalist Association and its Clara Barton
District, composed of congregations
in Connecticut and in central and western Massachusetts.

Mission Statement

provide a supportive community honoring diversity and religious freedom.
